apply `STANDARD` storage class to the object. This means the data and parity drives will be used as set in `STANDARD` storage class.

- If storage class is not defined before starting MinIO server, and subsequent PutObject metadata field has `x-amz-storage-class` present
with values `REDUCED_REDUNDANCY` or `STANDARD`, MinIO server uses default parity values.

### Set metadata

- For [SSE-S3 or SSE-KMS encryption via KMS](https://min.io/docs/minio/linux/operations/server-side-encryption.html "MinIO KMS Guide"), all sites **must**  have access to a central KMS deployment. This can be achieved via a central KES server or multiple KES servers (say one per site) connected via a central KMS (Vault) server.
